When I first picked up this book, I really thought it was going to be one of those damsels in distress "I'm-terrified-of-my-feelings-for-him-but-I'm-going-to-put-myself-in-every-dangerous-possible-position...." I'm glad to say that it wasn't and that I enjoyed this book. The heroine is kind of clueless sometimes, but it doesn't matter. The feelings that she has for the hero is quite understandable once the situation is explained. And although the story was kind of predictable, it was actually pretty good.

Un libro del que no esperaba nada y la verdad es que me ha sorprendido mucho. Con unos personajes que les he cogido mucho cariño y una trama fantástica. El único fallo, algo predecible.

Como bien dice el libro: " Dime una sola película en la que los hombres lobo hagan el papel bueno"

Sencillamente, engancha y es muy bonito.

When Kayla becomes a wilderness tour guide for the summer the most she expects is to spend a lot of time in the woods and to face her fears. She never expects to find out her friends are Shifters. Or to find her soul-mate.

Honestly this book was just okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It was fluff. I read it in one sitting.
The Characters are a little one dimensional. Lucas was a good character. He was mysterious and intriguing but Kayla was a little on the annoying side. The side characters were introduced nicely. The author did a great job of setting up for the rest of the series.
The backstory for the Shifters and the Dark Guardians was well done. It left me wanting to know more about the pack. In my opinion the ending felt a little rushed. The author spent too much time on minor elements of the story when she should have put more into the ending.
Regardless of all that I still enjoyed the book. It was a very fast read and I'm looking forward to reading Full Moon.

Moonlight by Rachel Hawthorne is mainly based on werewolves or Shape Shifters, as the say in the book. Kayla, a wildlife enthusiast, lost her parents when she was five. She was told that they were accidentally shot by hunters in the forest. But unable to recall what exactly happened that day, Kayla finds herself connected to the forest- where her parents died- in a way she has never felt before. The book elaborates on the events that take place in Kayla's life until the big day when everything is about to change. When everything she knows about herself will change- for the better or worse? READ to find out.

If I had to say something about this book in a sentence then it would be that I LOVED IT WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. I dove right into the story from the very first page and was unable to put the book down. The times when I was forced to put the book down, I would do so very heart-breakingly. My first instinct when I read the synopsis of the book was that probably this book too might be following the twilight storyline minus the vampires. Not able to ignore my love for paranormal books and of-course werewolves (TEAM JACOB!!! WOOHOO!!!), I reached forward and grabbed this book. And boy am I glad to have done that or what!! This book is nothing close to/similar to the twilight series. It is amazing in its own captivating world. I want to thank Rachel Hawthorne for having written this series and I wish her good luck for her upcoming books.Moonlight is written very well. Really descriptive (something I love), its impressing. The places were described so real that I could imagine myself in place of Kayla and I loved every moment of being in that place. If I ever get to meet Rachel Hawthorne, one question I would most definitely ask is "How she comes up with such beautiful places?Are they for real or just imaginary??"
Moving on to the characters. Kayla is a really pretty teenager with a good sense of responsibility. She loves the wildlife and finds it more comfortable, in the forest, than in any place. She ranks second in my YA FEMALE WARRIOR CHARACTERS list (first place occupied by Rose from The Vampire Academy). Not to mention that she's really friendly and good at heart.She is a very determined character and doesn't lose hope soon. Next in line is Lucas. What can I say about Lucas? Anything would be too less. He has an endless list of qualities. He's hot, handsome, responsible, a nature lover (really environment friendly, which sometimes is sort of annoying) loyal, considerate and on and on......
So far this is the best book about Shape Shifters. Can't wait to read the second book in the series. If you haven't read it, please go ahead and give it a try. I guarantee that you won't regret reading it.

The first half of this book was amazingly well done. I was sucked into the story from the first page. However, things sort of went downhill towards the end. The story became slightly predictable and even a little too cutesy for my taste.

But, over-all i enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the rest of the series.

So I was pleasently surprised with this book. One main reason I wasnt sure if I was going to like it is because im not a huge fan of wolves. Im more of vampire fan. Especially after reading Blood and Chocolate which was highly regarded as a great werewolves book but it wasn't.

I was also hesitant because the books first page and prologue basically gave out the big secret, that Lucas and Kayla are wolves. So i figured how good can the book really be. Lucas is a sexy, cant help but fall in love with kinda guy. He reminds me a little of Dimitri from Vampire Academy; he is powerful and thinks a lot before he acts, very controlled, and alpha of his pack. You cant help but be excited that you have such a strong male lead in this book.

Kayla is very appealing as well shes strong, caring, and very relatable. I like how she dreamed about lucas, but was scared to like him because she was unable to understand her feelings. I was surprised with the whole twist with Mason. I liked also how the book didnt leave you in crisis mode too long. My only complaint is that I wish it could have been longer. Why didn't Rachel Hawthorne give me 200-300 more pages to continue falling in love. The intimate scenes were so exciting I couldnt help but want more. This is a definate must read i really liked it.

This book is very good. Kayla, who has a cruch on Lucas, thinks that he doesn't really like her, so she ends up going with mason for awhile, only to discover that the rumors of Werewolves are true and that she is one of them.

Este libro narra la historia Kayla, una amante de la naturaleza que perdió a sus padres en el bosque cuando era pequeña. Como Kayla se enfrenta a su primer verano como un sherpa, lucha por superar sus pesadillas mientras aprenden más sobre su identidad y su pasado. A medida que el verano avanza, Kayla se encuentra dividida entre los sentimientos de Macon, un miembro del grupo de senderismo que está trabajando, y Lucas, el líder de los sherpas. Kayla no esperaba descubrir que sus amigos eran Cambiadores, y mucho menos esperaba encontrar a su alma gemela. Mientras tanto, Lucas y sus compañeros Guardianes Oscuros, los encargados de proteger a la población de Cambiadores, se enfrentan a una amenaza peor que la exposición, Lucas deberá mantener la calma para así proteger a sus seres queridos.

Realmente no puedo quejarme de este libro por que me gusto mucho. Lo leí en unas horas mientras esperaba el almuerzo.

Muy bien escrito. Muy buenos personajes: Kayla es un personaje muy inteligente, divertido y no llegue a odiarla (lo cual es un milagro). Y Lucas es tan intenso, atractivo y misterio, osea, tiene dos cosas que realmente me hacen amar a los personajes masculinos. E incluso la forma en que la autora plantea a los hombres-lobo o Cambiadores es muy buena.

Pero no se. No tengo ninguna razón para quejarme pero tampoco demasiadas razones para recordarlo cuando me pregunten por un buen libro ¿es que acaso soy muy exigente? no lo se.
